how to use ant design form initialValue

Which is right using antd Form initialValue?

I want to know that if antd form initialValue is using to set initial data or just to show value when the form doesn't have value.

const Component = ({ id }) => {
  const initialName = 'John'
  const { data } = useQuery(GET_NAME, { variables: { id } })
  if (data) { 
    initialName = data.name 
  }

  return (
  <Form.Item>
    {form.getFieldDecorator('name', { initialValue: initialName })(<Input />)}
   </Form.Item>
 )
}


const Component = ({ id }) => {
  const { data } = useQuery(GET_NAME, {
    variables: { id },
    onCompleted: res => { form.setFieldsValue({ name: res.data.name }) }
  })

  return (
  <Form.Item>
    {form.getFieldDecorator('name', { initialValue: 'John' })(<Input />)}
   </Form.Item>
 )
}
Solution

  • It will set the value to what you assign initialValue to, so the first approach is right
